Project structure

The two files you'll actually use are:

Getting the data

Get your data (user info, repositories, followers, stars, and forks) using GitHub GraphQL API.

Open index-data.html in your browser to fetch and download your data easily. Just enter your GitHub user name and your GitHub Access Token, then click the "Fetch data" button.

Your token stays in your browser: it is used only to call the GitHub GraphQL API directly from your machine and is never sent to any server.

Get your Data</a>

When fetching is done a "Download" button appears. Use it to download your data.

Note: it is only fetching original repositories (not including forked repos) but it is easy to change in the code.

Visualizing the data

Visualize your data using D3 force layout.

To switch to your data, change the path to "data/data-evoluteur.js" for the new file you just downloaded (in index.html).

Clicking a project dot (on the graph or in the side pane) highlights it with its stargazers and forks.

Evoluteur's graph</a>

The graph supports zoom and pan. Colors, size and force layout can be configured in the config.js file. You may also want to modify the CSS.

const config = {
  // svg size
  height: 2000,
  width: 2000,
  // graph params
  strength: -30,
  distance: 50,
  // colors
  userColors: {
    follower: "#B9D7EB",
    star: "#86BDDC",
    fork: "#1966AC",
    both: "#4A96C9",
  },
  colorFaded: "#5f5f5f",
  circleBorder: "white",
  // misc.
  maxTopics: 5,
};

To rebuild the project (minimizing the JS), run the following commands:

npm install
npm run build
